We often find ourselves in unlikely situations. For instance, bumping into an unwanted person whilst inside the elevator. For seventeen-year-old piano extraordinaire, Mason Atkins, it was seeing a girl walking barefoot under the rain. A girl he recognized as someone from school, but still considered a complete stranger seeing as they've never really communicated before. She's barely an acquaintance. Should he help her and offer her a ride home, or should he do otherwise because lets face it, most people aren't very trustworthy these days. Let's just say it was a very unlikely situation.
But after going through all the trouble of thinking it through, he finds himself offering the seemingly harmless girl a ride home; if she had a place to call home that is.

Destined to be Together
Being a loved one isn't that difficult, is it? Some people believe it's easy. Ironically, many do not know how it feels to have people around who care for them. Some people grow up accepting the cruel world around them, forcing them to show off a tough personality and acting harsh as well.

Making new friends, ready to face challenges with a smile but not a frown and trying to understand others' problems is a small part of their personalities. Everyone in this world deserves someone with whom they can forget the rest of the world around them. It can be your family, your friends or maybe someone more than a friend... But can a cold and arrogant person ever receive any kind of affection? When a mysterious person, known by no one, starts getting attention from a transfer student, where would this lead the story? What would be the identity of this mysterious person? Trapped in a troublesome friendship, will they realize their love for each other? A simple and sweet love story of two souls, completely different from each other. Where would their destiny lead them?Complete

Secretly
We've all lived a version of it-the story of unrequited love. That quiet ache, the longing without return. I thought I might escape it. I guess there's no escape. I was not an exception. It was summer, two years ago, when I met him. At first, he was just another face in the crowd. But slowly-quietly-he became someone unforgettable. Someone who mattered far too much. We all have that one person. The one who changes everything without even trying. But tell me this: How much of yourself can you give to someone, knowing they'll never feel the same? Knowing that your love will echo in silence, unanswered? This is my story. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story (OG a visual novel) was written and first published in The Sims Resource year 2014 (my username was wasabichi). Some names of places and chapter header images are from the Sims 3 game. ✨Inspired by a true story. ✨ Enjoy reading! Love, MAIA B.Complete

[COMPLETE] Sorry this may be cringe, it was written very long ago A seemingly ordinary, working college girl meets a cool, undeniably sexy boy with millions of followers at his feet. How will their completely different lives allow, or prevent them from getting what they want? Expect some drama, flirty lines, steamy scenes, funny best friends, and perhaps, an overall epic love connection. ~ Carter came around the corner as his eyes darkened with a predatory gaze. Oh no. He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously. With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker." ~ ❗️Mature content.

how far would you go . . . for someone you love? ♔ Levi steps forward, placing himself between me and Jack. Like he's protecting me from him. But I don't need protecting, certainly not from Jack. "Who do you think you are, dude?" Levi spits, getting in Jack's face. "Look, Scarlett was just helping me out with a proj-" "I'm not your dude," Jack bites, and I want to tear my hair out of my head. This is going downhill very fast. Jack turns to me. "Scar, we need to talk," he says lowly. Then loud enough for Levi to hear, "So can you please get this kid to leave." "Hey, you don't get to come in here and start ordering her around," Levi says harshly. "You don't control her." "And you think that you do?" Jack spits. ♔ When Scarlett moved off to college, she hoped to start anew and find her way in this world alone. Two problems.

I fell for a boy with the kindest blue eyes, and a charming dimple. He made me feel loved, and cared for, and most importantly he made me feel safe in his presence. He came right in the middle of a tornadoe and managed to turn it into blue skies. He changed my perspective and gave me hope and strength." I looked at him, and he was smiling, and his eyes were a little glossy. He took my hand and kissed it, a small tear caught in the corner of his beautiful eyes. "I thought, hey, maybe life isn't so bad after all. Maybe I can finally allow myself to love and be loved, and to live life normally. When we went to your party, you told me to wait for you. But then your perverted cousin made me feel super uncomfortable, so I went looking for you, just to be able to feel at peace again. And that's when I saw it."
